AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The electrochromic composition effectively maintains high transparency in decoloration states by minimizing CT interactions, allowing for efficient light transmission and effective light control in visible regions.

Problems solved by technology

Those containing metal oxides, such as WO3, have been known as inorganic EC materials but a forming method is limited to a vapor deposition method and the like, which has caused a problem in producing a large area device.
On the other hand, since electrons are insufficient in the molecules in the cathodic EC compound, the cathodic EC compound is easily reduced.
Even in the case where the anodic EC compound and the cathodic EC compound each individually have sufficient colorless transparency in decoloration, when the anodic EC compound and the cathodic EC compound are mixed, a problem that CT absorption appears in a visible region and the transparency decreases has occurred.

ary Compound B-4

[0173]

[0174]In a 50 mL reaction vessel, 300 mg (0.926 mmol) of XX-1 (5,5′-dibromo-2,2′-bithiophene) and 590 mg (3.24 mmol) of XX-2 were mixed with a toluene / 1,4-dioxane (6 ml / 6 ml) mixed solvent, and then dissolved oxygen was removed with nitrogen. Subsequently, 8.3 mg (0.037 mmol) of Pd(OAc)2 and 38 mg (0.093 mmol) of 2-dicyclohexyl phosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxy biphenyl (S-Phos), and 1.07 g (4.65 mmol) of tripotassium phosphate were added under a nitrogen atmosphere, heated and refluxed at 100° C., and then reacted for 6 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure, and then isolated and purified by silica gel chromatography (Mobile phase: Hexane / Chloroform=1 / 3), whereby B-4 of light yellow solid powder was obtained (240 mg).

[0175]As a result of confirming the structure of the compound B-4 by measurement of mass-spectrum (MS) measurement and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (NMR) measurement, the molecular weight a...

ary Compound A-14

[0177]

[0178](1) In a 100 mL reaction vessel, 2.0 g (10.8 mmol) of XX-3 was dissolved in 20 ml of THF. Subsequently, 1.93 g (10.8 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide was added, and then stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, and then a precipitate was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, whereby XX-4 was obtained (2.24 g).

[0179](2) In a 50 ml reaction vessel, 1.0 g (3.8 mmol) of XX-4 was dissolved in 9 ml of DMF. 0.167 g (4.18 mmol) of sodium hydride (60%) was added to the solution under a nitrogen stream, and then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the solution, 0.54 ml (4.56 mmol) of benzyl bromide was added dropwise, and then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then isolated and purified by silica gel chromatography (Mobile phase: Hexane / Ethyl acetate=5 / 1), whereby XX-5 was obtained (0.99 g).

[0180](3) In a 50 mL reaction vessel, 0.99 g...

example 2

[0189]A mixed solution was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except using Exemplary Compound C-5 as a cathodic EC compound, and then the wavelength shift amount was calculated from an absorption spectrum thereof. The result was shown in Table 1.
